Is Platonism true?

Pros

Cons

Platonism is not literally true in exactly the way stated by Plato, but aspects of this system remain the best way to describe certain features of metaphysics including universals and the relation of being to becoming.

Numbers are objective, they have been found in many cultures and can be understood by all humans and computers alike, even animals count as we do.

Numbers can't exist just in our minds, since the world clearly obeys to mathematical rules, which are the only supposedly "mental" products that seem to evoke obedience in the phisical world, not the contrary

Physic can inspire new mathematical theories, so math is also "Discovered" empirically, in a way.

If God exists, then Platonism might also be true and viceversa, because God is sometimes defined as Logos, which is the supreme collection of all abstract concepts and rationality. If we assume that Numbers exist objectively as Platonic Ideas, the Logos is the Supreme Ensamble or Algorithm

Science supports Platonism: Physical Digitalism, Nick Bostrom's Simulation hypothesis and Tegmark's Mathematical Multiverse all point out to the fabric of reality being ultimately numbers. Quantum Mechanics also seems to indicate that our universe might work like a Quantum Computer based on Qubits (particles). M-Theory suggests that our Multiverse has an algorithmical nature.

Mathematical Platonism is still considered one of the best Philosophies of Mathematics and it is widely considered as the "Winning side" of the Postulation Crysis, having very little criticism.

Maybe mathematics is only part of our universe, 1+1=2 only holds true if there is something to count. If there would be no universe, there would be nothing to count.

Mathematics have been invented by humans to describe the nature.

Platonism cannot be scientifically proven today

According to Kant the apparent Order in what we see (including math) can be attributed to how our mind orders data. Numbers don't exist, we just project them unto what we see to order our world.
